First post... I own a Hornady Lock-N-Load press. Load volumes of pistol ammo, about 15 minutes for 50 rounds....after the learning curve. I take the powder drop off and have a separate powder dispenser for rifle, and generally use the press single load fashion for rifle. Older dies are RCBS, newer ones Hornady (357/38) or Redding (9mm). The Redding was the most expensive, but bought it when it was Redding or nothing (will we ever forget 2012-13 scarce everything). Do have some Lee dies for my 38-55, and Lee factory crimp dies for 38-55 and others, and this factory crip operation makes a lot if sense to me.
Shout out here for superlative customer service from Hornady. The Lock-N-Load had a 500 bullet rebate, but did not care for their selection so I called Hornady and asked to change to a bullet weight I wanted (180 grain 357 XTP). Quickly said "will do!" During press learning curve I ham fisted some parts and called Hornady for some coaching...coaching good, free repair parts was a winner for me.
The powder dispenser make?? (Shop/load room 100 yards from this easy chair..
but it's made in Texas and I have zero issues with it thus far.
